HALLUCINATIONS OF A DERANGED MIND
This woman doesn't belong to you!
She's my chosen one.
She's the superior woman that I've been looking for.
- Yes, master, I belong to you. - No!
Tania is mine.
- This can't be true. - Shut up!
Men surrender to my force,
and their eyes get scared before the vision of my supreme reign
of violence, anguish and pain of the perpetual punishment
for the weak and inferior ones.
Help!
Help me!
No, no!
Come back, Tania! Tania, don't!
Tania! Tania! Tania!
Tanial Tania, don't! Tania!
Tanial!
No! Tania, Tania, come back, Tania!
Calm down, my darling. What happened?
He wants you.
Coffin Joe wants to steal you from me.
Don't leave me.
Calm down, my darling. It was just a nightmare.
I love you, nobody will tear us apart.
No! It wasn't a dream. He wants you!
Look, see, he's over there, and he's waiting till I sleep to take you away.
Don't go, don't go...
My darling, there's nobody here.
Nobody will take me from you.
Try to rest.
Sleep, my darling, I'll stay with you.
CLINIC OF PSYCHIATRY DR. ADOLFO HANSEN
I don't know what else I can do.
This can't go on.
In fact, it's a very unique case.
Something must be done.
We must find a solution for all this.
It's an uneasy situation, we understand,
but we'll only be able to find the causes and the appropriate cure
after a detailed analysis.
I think that it's not a serious case.
I hope that everything goes well and as fast as possible.
In fact, it's a very simple case.
However, the mind is complex,
and a wrong analysis can lead us to bigger problems.
We can't make a simple mistake.
I've already had cases like this, but we have to treat each person differently.
People are different.
You must understand that it doesn't exist.
Well, before anything else, I think we must go deeper in this case.
I hope that this won't go on much longer.
Don't worry, we'll do everything to get to a quick conclusion.
ACID
Woman is, and shall always be...
across the barriers of time...
and the dimensions of the universe...
the untouched human being from the disgusting glory...
that emanates from man's bestiality!
Master, I am your slave.
You're the chosen one,
the superior woman who'll give me a perfect son.
Tania, don't.
Tania, come back, Tania.
No, come back.
No, don't go, Tania, come back.
Come back, Tania, come back. Tanial
No, don't go, Tania, come back.
Come back, Tania, come back. Come back!
Come back, Tania, come back. Tanial
- It was only a nightmare. Calm down. - Don't leave me.
We are here beside you.
- No, no... Let me finish him. - Calm down, you're among friends.
Tania is here.
No, don't, please, Tania... Stay here, Tania.
- Don't leave me. - Calm down, Hamilton. Take it easy.
- We need to apply a sedative. Nurse! - Ready.
- What are you gonna do? - Like we said, it's a simple case,
but it seems to involve the resistance of his subconscious mind.
However, I already know which way to follow.
I'm gonna go and look for the cure at the origin of the problem.
Don't worry, Mrs. Tania.
Hello... Oh, yes. Only a moment, please, I'll call him.
Mr. Mojica, please, come answer the phone.
Thank you. Bring me a whiskey.
- Yes, sir. - Hello?
Is this Mr. José Mojica?
Mr. Mojica, I'm calling from a psychiatry clinic.
We need your help.
And if you could help us...
Sure.
What can I do for you?
A friend of ours has been acting strangely lately.
He says he's being pursued by Coffin Joe.
We believe that you're gonna be very important for his cure,
because you've created the character.
We'd be very grateful,
not only because he's a good friend,
but also because he's a great supporter of our science.
It's interesting...
I also like to look into these kinds of problem.
I'll come over there. It'll be very useful for me.
Would tomorrow be OK?
Thank you.
May your eyes not see...
what your mind isn't able to conceive.
Oaxiac!
Odéz!
That unreachable dimension of the unexplored,
the unknown and the fantastic...
forms the fabric of reality in the relentless pursuit...
of the awakening of perpetuity...
and the man who dedicates himself to that uncertain mission
finds opened the doors of nothingness
that lead into everything.
Neither good nor evil forces...
will ever interfere
with the mortal branded with my mark!
May my eyes see the chosen one...
that will stay in my reign!
You'll give me the son who will be born from my vile superior essence.
Thus it'll be, I'll be yours.
The son of the superior man will live through the times.
I'll be eternal.
You'll be mine forever and ever.
No!
She belongs to me, don't take her!
She's mine... Ténia!
Tania, don't leave me.
Tania, Tana!
No, no, Tania, don't.
Calm down, calm down!
Yeah...
Have a seat, Mojica.
Really incredible.
I never thought that my creation
could leave such an impression on an educated person.
Yes...
I'm surprised, too.
I never thought that things like this could happen to people like Hamilton.
Well, if the cure depends on me,
I believe that it won't be a problem.
As I said to Dr. Adolfo, I use cases like this as research for my work.
I'll do anything I can to help,
but I'd like to know how it all started.
We don't know either.
Dr. Hamilton is the best psychiatrist in this clinic.
In fact, he's always been remarkable since his college years.
He has solved every case.
Also, about two years ago, he went to a conference in Vienna.
Well, lately he started...
to suffer...
these collapses, always saying that Coffin Joe wants to take his wife.
Like a neurosis.
Apparently, he doesn't have a reason for this.
Well, I know nothing about medicine.
Or psychiatry.
However, I believe that those crises have a cause.
And I think that his wife is the one to blame.
I think that the solution could be her.
However, I'll only be able to help after speaking with him.
That would be difficult in the present situation,
because he clearly wouldn't accept your presence,
and could even mistake you for your fictional creation.
But we can hypnotize him.
Would tomorrow be OK?
Perfect.
Well, now I need to go because several commitments are awaiting for me.
I'll be here tomorrow.
- So long, gentlemen. - So long.
- What do you think? - I think it'll work well.
- Mr. Mojica... - Yes?
I'm not sure, I'm afraid.
Will you be able to help Hamilton?
As I said to the doctors, I know nothing about psychiatry.
However, since the problem originates in the character I created,
I think that I can help.
Thank you, your words light me up.
- So long. - So long.
Mr. Mojica, I didn't see your family around here.
Are they traveling?
- Yes, they're on vacation. - Ah...
- The people here are having a great time. - Thank you.
Yeah, you're right.
Only you could give your employees such a good time.
It's true!
They deserve this kind of relaxation once a month,
because, after all, they're always working for me.
- I agree with you. - You're right about that.
Moreover, it's also a distraction for me,
because when the family is away,
this house is too big for just one person, isn't it?
That's true.
I'm going to swim. Do you want to go, too?
No. I'm going to the library.
I'm analyzing a new case of psychiatry,
and I hope to find the answers in my books.
Yeah, Mojica, you're always the same researcher of the human mind.
This is very important for my work.
But, go and get yourself a little fun.
Bye!
Now, if you'll excuse me...
- I'm gonna do a bit of work. - As you wish.
Yes, let me sit down.
- Mr. Mojica, there's a call for you. - Who is it?
It seems to be from the clinic.
- Norma... - Yes?
Bring me the other scripts, please.
- The movie ones. - All of them?
No, only the horror ones.
Just a moment.
The movie scripts are all here.
These are the very ones.
Is there a problem, Mr. Mojica?
No. This is only for a research.
If you need something, I'll be at the office.
Oh, thank you.
You're very tired, Hamilton.
You need to rest now.
Rest, Hamilton, rest.
Sleep is the rest of the mind.
Sleep, Hamilton, sleep.
You need to sleep.
To sleep...
And to hear...
To hear...
To hear.
So, Hamilton, everything looks fine now.
Yes, everything's fine.
Hamilton, I wanna ask you some questions, OK?
Yes, very well.
Tell me, how do you feel about your work?
I'm happy at the clinic.
You know, psychiatry has much in common with the supernatural.
The supernatural fascinates me.
I like to analyze the human mind.
I understand, but who are you?
Me? Well, I'm looking for perfection.
I want to achieve it.
I was almost there...
But suddenly it became difficult.
He, however...
he was only a creation, but now he's alive.
He wants to stop me, he wants to take Tania away,
but I won't allow that.
How is Tania?
She's wonderful, perfect in every way.
We live in a wonderful world.
We have the same way of thinking.
He wants to take her. I won't allow that.
Who?
Coffin Joe.
He wants to stop me.
He's looking for the superior woman.
He wants to take Tania away from me.
Yes, he wants Tania.
He's got an evil power.
He's alive, alive!
Coffin Joe created life?
Yes, in his books, in his movies.
Yes, he's alive.
He's alive! He's taking Tania away.
I'm seeing, I'm seeing.
He'll take her.
No, Tania, don't!
No! He'll take her. Tanial!
May the power of time push the perpetual suffering...
the sadism, the anguish and the violence!
Opened are the doors of the perpetual torment
and the never-ending suffering,
for the cursed creatures...
who convert into pieces...
and perpetuate themselves through the time,
in the perpetual dimension of the desperation
and the anguish, in the eternity of the tunnel.
The tunnel of eternity!
The way for the freedom from torment
and the perfection of human existence...
is the supreme power of the superior mind.
Flesh will be blood,
and blood will become water...
to bathe my eternal legacy...
and glorify the pleasures of pain in the body of the damned.
So it shall be, from one galaxy to another,
from one existence to another.
The little, eternal midget...
and the great, eternal giant.
You are the perfect woman.
No, don't do that. Please, don't do that. You're mine!
Coffin Joe is taking Tania away.
Coffin Joe doesn't exist!
No? Tania.
Hey, Hamilton, try to think.
No. He's taking Tania away.
Coffin Joe doesn't exist!
Tania, come back. No!
Coffin Joe doesn't exist!
Tania, don't go! Don't go!
Coffin Joe doesn't exist!
Tania, Tania, Tania.
Hamilton, Coffin Joe doesn't exist!
Come back. No, no, no. Ténia!
He'll take Tania.
Coffin Joe doesn't exist! He doesn't exist!
Lights.
It was only a nightmare.
I'm not who you're thinking.
Try to understand, my name is Mojica.
I created Coffin Joe.
Coffin Joe doesn't exist, he's only a creation of mine.
He'll never become real.
It was your research that took you to this point.
Everything that you researched can be found in my works.
I'm Mojica.
I created Coffin Joe in the movies, but not in the real life.
Say it, Hamilton.
I'd like to believe in that.
But it's the truth.
And to prove it,
I'll leave with you the script of my next movie.
Look here.
The script is a parody about Coffin Joe.
Try to imagine a Coffin Joe completely frustrated.
He doesn't exist.
Read the script, and you'll see that I'm right,
and tomorrow I'll come back here.
Or, even better, I'll see you at your house.
You're right.
A character can't exist outside the mind of its creator.
I'll read the script and we can talk later.
Well, now we have to leave you and Tania alone,
and tomorrow I want to meet you at your home.
Right?
And Fabio?
He's at the clinic taking care of a patient. We'll see him later.
So long.
I'm very happy that everything is back to normal.
Yes, Hamilton was missed in the clinic.
Your idea of making a parody about Coffin Joe was very clever.
It practically cured Hamilton.
I just can't understand the reason Hamilton chose a simple and imaginary character
as the cause of his nightmares.
As I said, this was the indirect consequence
of his feelings about the wife.
Hamilton is a man who, besides being fascinated by the supernatural,
identifies himself with the ideology of Coffin Joe
in search for the superior woman.
In his turn, he sees in Tania the perfect woman.
Thus, his subconscious mind created fantasies
with my character and his wife.
And so the fear was born that Coffin Joe would create life...
and, through a demonic power, come to steal Tania from him.
- Things like this can happen. - Yeah, you're right.
I fully agree with you, and I believe that all our colleagues are of the opinion...
What's going on?
What happened?
What is it?
You're beautiful, darling.
I'm so happy that you've turned into the Hamilton I've always known.
Yes, thanks to Mojica.
I've read a bit of the script he brought me.
- Oh, the parody about Coffin Joe? - It's incredible.
He destroys the myth that has been his own creation.
But it couldn't be like this, since Coffin Joe doesn't exist.
A nightmare.
A rival in search of perfection,
but only I had a perfect woman: you.
No!
Tania isn't perfect!
Her mind is inferior.
She didn't reach perfection.
She didn't believe that I had life.
She couldn't give birth to the perfect son of the superior man.
And for imperfect beings there's only extinction.
No, no... No!
No! Help!
What are you feeling, Mojica?
Now I'm fine, thanks.
Like I said, it was the effect of the heart attack,
but now I'm OK.
You've scared us all!
THE END
